2 more new seedlings today.

The 3rd seedling of Dragonfly Dawn x Dragonfly Dawn bloomed. (There is just one seedling left that has yet to bloom of this cross. Four siblings total.) This is another stunner from DD! This is why I love this parent daylily. It seems to consistently produce such nice blooms on the children! Stats are 22" scape, 7" bloom, and 7 buds. Some rust.

Dragonfly Dawn x Dragonfly Dawn Seedling #3 (ZZZ66) morning:

And the other newest seedling bloom is a sibling of the Galaxy Explosion x Lily Munster cross (ZZZ37). Fortunately, this one has a stronger scape and held it up, but the scape is short. Stats are scape is 15 1/2" tall, bloom is 6 1/2", and there are 6 buds total. No rust.

"Stippled Statement x unknown" (CCC11) had two blooms today. This is one of my favorite seedlings from last year. This is it's second year to bloom. I think there are now 3 or maybe 4 fans of this one currently. It is just loaded with buds! Scape is 15", bloom is 6", and I counted 24 buds on one of 3 scapes. I also see more scapes coming up right behind the first bunch.

In this photo you can see this seedling and several fans plus all the scapes and buds! Awesome seedling!
